Hi All,

I’m still debating on whether or not BuddyPress is enough, or I need bbPress. However, when I deactivate bbPress, I cannot log into my WP admin panel?

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

Thanks,

Justin

Hi,

New to bbpress and wordpress 🙂 I’m trying to install a forum on my main site and I’m facing little issues.

Here is my case:

1. I installed wordpress on my root directory.
2. Then I added the BBPress plugin.
3. Now my forums are loading with this URL structure – example.com/forum/test-forum

I would like my forum to be displayed with this URL structure – example.com/test-forum/

Is there a bbpress fucntion to modify this?
A bbpress function or a plugin is much appreciated rather than a .htaccess rule.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I’ve a caching(?) problem and I’ve no idea how to solve it.

I use bbpress on a single website in a multisite wordpress installation with the [bbp-forum-index] bbcode on a custom page as front page.
Now I realised that then I’m moving topics or deleting some of them the topic- and post-counter as the freshness column doesn’t update. There still seems to be a topic but then clicking on the forum there isn’t.
My first suspect is the cache but after smashing the F5 button and manually clearing the browser cache it’s still there. Also topics deleted a long time ago are still in the freshness column but not in the topic- and post-counter.
We’re not using any caching plugins. The only thing that comes near a caching plugin is the plugin wordfence that has a caching option, but that function is disabled. I also deactivated the plugin but nothing changed.

Now I’m quite confused. Does someone know of any problems with following plugins?

What I’ve tried:
– deactivating wordfence
– use the Twenty Fifteen theme instead of evolve (on a test page same result if I move topics between different main categories or parent forums)

What I use:
– WordPress 4.3
– bbPress 2.5.8
– evolve theme 3.4.3 with a child theme
on http://hackish.codes/hcforum/
test website: http://hackish.codes/testpage/

These plugins are active together with bbpress (on both the test website and the productive forum):
– Breadcrumb NavXT 5.2.2
– Redux Framework 3.5.7
– Wordfence Security 6.0.15
– WPML Multilingual CMS 3.2.6 (active on multisite but deactivated through the WPML intern deactivation)
– WP Statistics 9.5.3
– BuddyPress 2.3.3
– WP Hide Admin Bar 2.0
– Orbisius Child Theme Creator 1.2.8

i tried with various bbpress and wp roles. I tried deactivated all my plugins but bbpress. I will now try the permalink rewrite.

When i do a Tool > Forum and i use the reset, i get conversion table failed. all the other resets works. (if that info can help)

The permalink flush didn’t work either.

[Robkk]

Did you try flushing your permalinks and possilbly checking if it is a plugin issue?

Troubleshooting

Also check if the users role is in fact have participant forum role.

[nanomamnews]

The forum used to be private, I deleted everything, redownloaded the pluging and made a public forum.

I believe i cleared my cache correctly.

I believe the bbPress template was indeed modified for my theme. Is there a way i can delete all those modifications ?

[Robkk]

Does it work fine using a default theme?

Have you cleared some cache/set up caching correctly?

Do the forums have a hidden status?

Did you copy and modify the bbPress templates in your theme heavily?

[Robkk]

I looked in the source code and I see no Open Graph tags on your bbPress pages, and it all seems to be working fine to me.

[nanomamnews]

Hi,

I’m sorry if this has been asked 1000x times before. I did find many topics about this problem, and tried many of the listed solutions, but nothing seems to work for me.

I’m runnning the following website : nanomamnews.com on wordpress 4.3 with bbpress 2.5.8 which i believe is the most recent versions available.

Only the keymaster role can see the public forums. Any other role can’t see anything and falls on a 404 page.

I run a custom theme. I tried the repair and reset tools. I tried messing around with the user capabilities, both in wordpress and using various plugins.

Please help me fix this bug, or make a link that points to the solution very clearly, because it seems to be a very recurrent pain with bbpress.

I’m looking to have a set of capabilities and roles that works. I can fine tune the permissions later on, but i think it’s crazy that only keymaster has access to the forums.

Creating topics from posts in an RSS feed is probably possible with the FeedWordPress plugin, you may have to make sure you configure it correctly for bbPress though.

Turning bbPress into a feed aggregator or a re-aggregator is a great idea to bring discussion into your forums.

How the imported content is presented and how much of it you are importing could be crucial to user engagement to your site though.

Try not to steal some other sites posts though.

Hello,
I wish I could make my bbpress invisible for non-members, so I tried to change my visibility setting to “private”, it didn’t change anything…
Then, I tried various plugins like Member Access or Members, and my forum is still public => http://prepahec-gaylussac.esy.es/forum

I guess my forum matters but i dunno what accurately: i checked the transients and every setting…

Any idea please ?

Thank’s,
Nicolas.

With a default theme as your active them , deactivate all plugins but bbPress then see if the issue is still present.

An update to any of the plugins could cause issues with bbPress.

Start activating the plugins the kleo theme support suggested one by one, then go from there to see what is causing an issue.

[Robkk]

Try this.

Create a child theme if you haven’t already, and copy the bbPress template files into your child theme.

This guide will tell you what folders containing files you can copy over into your theme.

@karllundgren

Do not mess with any of the bbPress plugin files in the plugins folder. Remember that if you do modify anything in the core plugin files of bbPress, it will be lost next update.

Any custom CSS like the snippet I gave you, you place into your child themes CSS stylesheet or into a custom css plugin.

[nblxhd]

There’s no link to the forums setup after update.

Kleo theme support :

“1 – Do not enable group forms for buddypress. As it states, use bbpress. So, dont change anything there. Leave it the way it is.

2 – In every case I’ve seen, a plugin conflict causes a menu item to disappear. Disable all of your plugins except k-elements, visual composer, buddypress and bbpress. The forum menu item should return. If it does start enabling your plugins one by one until you find the conflicting plugin.”

Your caching plugin is still enabled though. Clear your cache and disable it. If forums doesnt come back, then temporarily enable the 2015 Theme. If its still doesnt show up, then its not Kleo and you’ll have to ask over on the bbpress forum.

Active Plugins:

bbPress, BuddyPress, K Elements, WPBakery Visual Composer.

Hi,
I’ve tried to use the forum converter and it does import the board, but it isn’t importing users. Is there something special I need to to to get the user account migrated over?

It’s giving me this error

WordPress database error: [Unknown column 'users.msn' in 'field list']

Thanks for the help.

[Schuitema]

Hi

Please help, the bbpress search widgets bring up everything but my forum topics and replies, it also seems to replicate the results many times over, some 76 pages worth of repeated results.

I have search sor a solution to no end, and have narrowed it down to be a problem with my theme, as it works perfectly on a default wp theme, my theme developer isn’t responding to any request for support unfortunately, is there anyone here who could help me figure this out.

Please.

@robkk

The bbpress plugin has 4 css files. I’ve inserted that css code into all 4 and the problem remains.

[Robkk]

it would work like this though

#bbpress-forums .community .bbp-author-role {
  background-color: blue;
}

or

#bbpress-forums .team .bbp-author-role {
  background-color: yellow;
}

[Robkk]

I just tested on my test site, and I do not really see an issue with the OG tags. Maybe there is something else. You may need to try some troubleshooting.

Troubleshooting

[selenii]

No no, the meta tags work fine, but I don’t need this tags. And when I disable this tags in Yoast plugin, the bbpress Forum will not work. It shows me the blank page.

[Robkk]

Try some troubleshooting first if you haven’t already, check your cache(this includes browser cache if the main browser you use is safari).
